Despite the issue surrounding his personal information, Malaysian entrepreneur Khairul Aming presses on with a new product launch. The Sambal Nyet Bilis is set to launch later this week, marking the fourth product from the influencer’s RASAPOP company.
Earlier today (Monday, 3rd August 2026), Khairul Aming unveiled his new Sambal Nyet Bilis product. The condiment is the fourth product manufactured by his RASAPOP company, following the original Sambal Nyet Berapi and the ready-to-eat Dendang Nyet Berapi and Rendang Nyet Berapi. In his introduction video, Khairul Aming described the latest product as spicier and more flavourful than his previous products.
Khairul Aming also shared a closer look at the production process for his new product, including the ingredient sourcing. As the name suggests, the main ingredients for the spicy condiment are anchovies and chillies. In an effort to ensure the best and freshest ingredients, the entrepreneur travelled to Setiu, Terengganu and Banting, Selangor to meet with fishermen and chilli farmers.
Other ingredients include fresh tomatoes, kaffir lime leaves and belacan. The video also included a look into the manufacturing process for the Sambal Nyet Bilis. Like all his previous products, the new condiment is made locally at the RASAPOP factory in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Khairul Aming also noted that the factory handles the bottling, packing and delivery process, meaning the condiment is 100% locally made.
The Sambal Nyet Bilis will officially launch on 7th August 2026 (Friday) at 9pm. 125,000 bottles of the new product will be available for sale through Khairul Aming’s TikTok LIVE. Fans have reacted to the announcement, expressing interest in the new condiment. Many also praised the entrepreneur for keeping his products entirely local, from the ingredients to the manufacturing process. Meanwhile, some also noted the impressive quality of the announcement video.
We congratulate Khairul Aming on the launch of his latest product. If you want to be the first to grab a bottle of Sambal Nyet Bilis, make sure to set an alarm for his TikTok livestream this Friday. Or check out the official Khairul Aming Shopee page. Are you excited for this new launch?

As Malaysia’s running community continues to flourish, more people are discovering the physical and mental benefits of running, whether through community run clubs, weekend races or personal fitness goals. Recognising the diverse needs of today’s runners, ASICS designed the NOVABLAST™ 6 as a versatile daily training shoe that delivers an energetic, lightweight and comfortable running experience for everyone, from beginners preparing for their first 5K to experienced runners training for half and full marathons.
Setting the pace in its category, the NOVABLAST™ 6 shoe introduces additional updates across the upper and outsole in line with the ASICS Design Philosophy, designed to further enhance comfort and performance. ASICSGRIP™ rubber in the forefoot delivers enhanced traction and a more efficient toe-off, working in harmony with the midsole construction to amplify the shoe’s trampoline-inspired bounce. The engineered mesh upper has also been refined to improve breathability and provide a more adaptive, comfortable fit for everyday training.

The NOVABLAST™ franchise has become one of the most popular choices among runners in Malaysia because of its lightweight feel and responsive cushioning. With the introduction of the NOVABLAST™ 6, we are bringing our latest innovations to local runners, delivering an even more energetic and enjoyable ride that supports everything from daily training runs to race-day preparation. We believe this latest evolution will continue to inspire Malaysians to move with confidence and enjoy every stride.”
Retaining its distinctive geometric midsole design, the NOVABLAST™ 6 shoe continues to visually reflect the energetic underfoot experience that defines the franchise. The bold design language mirrors the dynamic feel of each stride, reinforcing its position as a standout model within the ASICS running range.

After a decade together, Hong Kong actor Mat Yeung (楊明) and Malaysian-born actress Lisa Ch’ng (莊思明) have finally tied the knot! The couple held their wedding ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, with tons of fellow celebrities in attendance to celebrate their big day!
As previously reported, Mat and Lisa held their wedding ceremony on 2nd August 2026 (Sunday) at the luxurious JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The couple spared no expense for their nuptials, even travelling to various cities for their pre-wedding photoshoot. Lisa’s bridal wardrobe also sparked a lot of interest for its price tag.

Given their status as one of Hong Kong showbiz’s most enduring couples, it’s no surprise that many celebrities appeared at Mat and Lisa’s wedding to commemorate their union. According to reports, the star-studded wedding guest list included Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯), Nancy Sit (薛家燕), Maria Cordero (瑪俐亞) and Max Cheung (張達倫).
In a media interview on their wedding day, the newlyweds expressed gratitude to all their friends who flew in from Hong Kong for their wedding. Since a destination wedding meant guests had to set aside several days from their schedules to attend, Mat said their presence at the ceremony was even more meaningful.
Lisa also explained the decision to hold the wedding in Malaysia, instead of Hong Kong. According to the actress, family connections were the primary reason, since many of her relatives reside here. She also said she chose to have her nuptials here to honour her late father, Datuk Bill Ch’ng Chong Poh, and the place he grew up.
The couple also spoke about their future now that they’re officially husband and wife. Mat said they hope to start a family soon, but will let nature take its course. Lisa also shared that she would ideally like to have two children, saying the kids would have a sibling for companionship but won’t be too burdensome to raise.

As for their honeymoon plans, the couple admitted that they haven’t had the time to plan the trip yet. Lisa shared that they will return to Hong Kong after the wedding to resume work and prepare another banquet for family and friends who couldn’t attend the KL ceremony. As such, the pair will begin planning their honeymoon once everything is settled.
We once again congratulate Mat and Lisa on their wedding, and we hope to hear more happy news from the couple soon.
Malaysia concluded its 18th appearance at the Commonwealth Games, represented by a focused delegation of 59 athletes across eight sports (comprising 37 able-bodied athletes and 22 para-athletes) that hauled an impressive total of 16 medals: 8 Gold, 3 Silver, and 5 Bronze.
While the final medal tally was impressive, the true story of Glasgow 2026 lay in the drama, grit, and milestones created along the way.
Heading into Glasgow, the Olympic Council of Malaysia set a modest target of 5 Gold medals. Malaysia surpassed that benchmark early on Day 8 and kept pushing, ultimately concluding with 8 Golds. Youth and Sports Minister Dr. Mohammed Taufiq Johari lauded the achievement, citing the strength of the national sports development ecosystem across both Olympic and Para programs.
Glasgow 2026 featured a scaled-back 10-sport framework (down from Birmingham 2022’s 20 sports). Even with badminton dropped from the roster, traditionally one of Malaysia’s strongest medal sports, the delegation adapted effortlessly. Combat sports, weightlifting, and velodrome events stepped up into the spotlight to power the country’s national tally.
🥇 Gold Medal Highlights
Malaysia’s eight gold medals came from dominant performances in weightlifting, track cycling, para-athletics, and judo:
Weightlifting Dominance: The weightlifting squad proved to be Malaysia’s strongest medal engine in Glasgow, sweeping 5 Gold medals:
Aniq Kasdan (Men’s 60 kg)
Aznil Bidin (Men’s 65 kg)
Erry Hidayat (Men’s 79 kg)
Hafizuddin Roslin (Men’s 88 kg)
Mohamad Syahmi (Men’s 94 kg)
Track Cycling: “The Pocket Rocketman” Mohd Azizulhasni Awang produced a masterclass at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome to storm to victory and claim Gold in the Men’s Keirin.
Para-Athletics: Flagbearer Abdul Latif Romly lived up to expectations, capturing Gold in the Men’s Long Jump T20 with an impressive leap of 7.17 meters.
Judo: Amir Daniel Abdul Majeed clinched Gold in the Men’s 81 kg category at the SEC Hall, securing one of Malaysia’s standout martial arts victories of the Games.
🥈 Silver Medals
Lawn Bowls (Women’s Pairs): Syafiqa Haider Afif Abdul Rahman & Aleena Ahmad Nawawi.
Overall, the Malaysian contingent finished 10th in the medal rankings with Australia finishing 1st with 169 total medals (70 gold, 43 silver and 56 bronze), England in 2nd with 110 total medals (29 gold, 45 silver and 36 bronze) and Canada in 3rd with 62 medals (19 gold, 20 silver and 23 bronze).
With major events on the horizon, including the upcoming Asian Games, Asian Para Games, and the 2027 SEA Games, this Glasgow showing provides crucial momentum, proving that the nation’s sporting ecosystem is built to thrive on the world stage.
Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company™ and global leader in lifestyle and performance footwear is bringing Kuala Lumpur-based graffiti artist and illustrator Cloakwork (@cloakwork) into the SkechVibe fold with the SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection, lending his signature visual language to a new capsule of limited-edition apparel and accessory.
Created as a platform to celebrate artistic expression through wearable design, SkechVibe brings together creative talents whose distinctive perspectives resonate with today’s generation of self-expression and individuality. For its latest collaboration, Skechers partners with Cloakwork, whose vibrant murals, playful illustrations and unmistakable visual style transform everyday apparel into wearable works of art.
SOURCE: SKECHERS
Beginning with a spray can in his Kuala Lumpur neighbourhood over a decade ago, Cloakwork has since built a multidisciplinary creative practice spanning murals, illustration and public art installations across Malaysia and internationally. Known for his bold colours, expressive characters and energetic compositions, his work captures the vibrancy of urban culture while remaining approachable and universally recognisable.
That same creative language has extended beyond walls into collaborations for wearable art – making him a natural fit for SkechVibe, where original artistic expression meets everyday style.
The SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection features four exclusive T-shirt designs and one tote bag design, each offered in two colourways. Drawing inspiration from Cloakwork’s signature artistic style, the collection blends bold graphics, playful characters and vibrant visual elements into wardrobe staples, inviting wearers to express their individuality through art-inspired fashion.
SOURCE: SKECHERS
Whether worn as statement pieces or styled for everyday occasions, the collection reflects Skechers’ belief that comfort and creativity can go hand in hand, bringing original artistic expression into designs that are made to be lived in.
Setting the tone for laid-back days, this design features a character stretched out in a hammock strung between two palm trees, drink in hand and slides kicked off in the sand. Set against a warm coastal palette of orange and ocean blue, “SKECHERS SUMMER CLUB” arches overhead in bold retro lettering, capturing the ease of slower days ahead. Relaxed and sun-soaked, this piece opens the collection on a lighter note before the rest of the capsule turns to the streets.
Inspired by Cloakwork’s early days painting the walls of his neighbourhood, this design features a character peeking over a brick wall shaped into the iconic Skechers “S”, with spray cans, paint drips and an old-school boombox completing the scene. Brought to life in brick red, sky blue and sun-faded yellow, the artwork pays homage to graffiti’s raw beginnings, where a blank wall and a can of spray paint were all it took to spark creativity. A subtle nod to Cloakwork’s own journey, the design celebrates the humble origins that laid the foundation for his artistic career.
SOURCE: SKECHERS
Built around the energy of city streets, this design features a scooter carrying a delivery box tagged “SKECH VIBE” in Cloakwork’s signature graffiti lettering, with “CLOAK” tagged beside it, his own graffiti signature. Trailing from the scooter like exhaust, a puffed graffiti cloud spells out “SKECHERS” in lavender bubble lettering, drifting off the back as it rides. A grey walking shoe stands in for the scooter’s front kickstand, a comical touch that keeps the whole scene light.
Built around the rhythm and motion of dance, this design features two sneaker-character mascots strutting side by side, one in pink, one in navy, music notes swirling around them and a comic-style “SKECH VIBE” burst exploding overhead. Their laces reach out and hold hands, a small detail that reads as a couple out for the night, while the purple sneaker carries a Y2K media player to keep the beat going. Between them, a Skechers road sign doubles as a disco ball. Playful and full of energy, the design gives the shoe’s everyday stride a dance-floor spin.
SOURCE: SKECHERS
The hero piece of the collaboration, this design puts Cloakwork himself in the frame, a cartoon self-portrait, cap on, spray can in hand, caught mid-tag against a brick wall shaped into the Skechers “S.” Available in Snow White and Black Beauty, crafted in 100% Cotton, it’s designed to pair easily with any of the four tees, rounding out the capsule as its everyday carry piece.
Now available for a limited time only, the SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection is available at RM139 at selected Skechers concept stores, including 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Pavilion Bukit Jalil, Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, The Exchange TRX Mall and more.
